Control Owner Capability & Accountability\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nEstablishing clear accountability, defining competency requirements, assessing capability, and ensuring control owners have resources and authority to execute. Including succession planning and performance management.\u00a0
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reporting & Governance\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Continuous Improvement & Innovation\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nBenchmarking against industry best practices, evaluating technology solutions for control enhancement, testing new verification methods, and sharing innovations across Barrick\u2019s portfolio.
